First, this movie was so well done, a remake, especially by Hollywood, could only fall short. The current remake of the The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is a prime example of what happens if you try to duplicate excellence.
This movie is so engrossing that the english subtitles were just absorbed into the movie. Same for the swedish version of TGWTDT!
Massimo Girotti was great as Davide Veroli. Giovanna Mezzogiorno is so breathtakingly beautiful. You might be able to replace Massimo with Tom Wilkinson, but Sean Connery would be tough to pull off as a concentration camp survivor. You can't just throw off Giovanna's beauty either. Her attractiveness is part of the glue that ties each of the male characters to her.
And enough cannot be said about the directing, as a masterpiece such as this film, doesn't just happen along everyday.
On the other hand, if Hollywood, can make a better remake of this, it will not be one to miss!
